Flyaway - I definately do NOT work for Starwood. But I do travel ALOT. And nothing frustrates me more than checking into a $125+ per night room at any hotel and not having CNN or CNBC. Marriott 'used' to be my hotel of choice.
Now, I do stay at Starwood mostly. But ocaissionally do make a reservation at Marriott. Recently - the Marriott Pittsburgh City Center. No CNN, no CNBC. CNN Headline was there. Rainy night - didn't want to go out.
In this day and age, I think that I should have more choices than ABC, NBC, FOX and Headline News with 2 or 3 hotel channels that advertise meetings and restaurants. Marriott doesn't think this is important, so I choose Starwood or Hilton.
We all have a choice, but don't you think that Marriott would consider that they may actually be losing business over such an easy problem to solve????
